I enjoy support journalism which is not commercially driven and am looking for European media. In Germany there is e.g. Jung und Naiv, taz or Riffreporter. But they all have a focus on german politics mainly i want more EU or Europe Politics. I thought about Guardian - they at least try to cover some European stuff.

I think "far left" and "biased" is a little exaggurated.

It is a left-wing media but there are no closer ties to the Party the-left. Actually a founder of taz was a green Party member: https://taz.de/Zum-Todestag-von-Hans-Christian-Stroebele/!5952742/

Yeah I didn't mean they're associated with the party Die Linke in particular, just the general political tendency. :) Nothing wrong with that either, I just think it's important to be aware of that this reflects in both the articles that I often find quite opinionated and also the selection of news/topics they do or don't report about, so if you want full coverage and balanced news this shouldn't be your exclusive news source but combined with others.

I do agree mostly but:

nothing should be your exclusive newssource.
there is no such thing as journalism without opinion. Writing a story always implies your opinion "this is important".
